Nairobi National Park is one of the best places anywhere to observe wild black (browse) rhinos. Here is a lone bull (cows nearly always have a calf at heel), Ngong Hills in the background…
The prehistoric appearance of this massive herbivores belies their incredible sense of hearing & smell…..
NNP rhinoes have ear notches for easy identification in the field. It is not always easy to get close to wild blacks -they are shy & retiring & VERY wary of humans. 
This is unsurprising given the fact that there are estimated to be about 700 of these creatures left after their population was decimated by hunting in the last 40 years.
Of these, most are to be found in Rhino Sanctuaries in Kenya, of which NNP is one of the most successful in providing a breeding haven for these magnificent pachyderms.
Keeping a close eye on the future……

c’est un superbe site sur tout les annimeaux d’afrique
Lovely stuff – Nairobi NP is probably one of the few places left where Rhinos can engage in their Natural behavior without the threat of armed criminals wiping them out!!
Magnificent creatures!
